Instant Foundry Adaptive through Bits (iFAB)

Abstract

The goal of this project is to incorporate manufacturability constraints early into the system design process to enable design trade space exploration which we believe will shorten schedules, decrease manufacturing costs, increase reliability and enable reconfiguration and reuse capability within design and manufacturing processes. Our long-term vision is to embed the proposed intelligent design and manufacturing framework into existing product lifecycle management software technologies so that corporations can dramatically improve product development time and reduce product lifecycle management costs while capitalizing on concurrent engineering practices.
